I have requested to download Visual COBOL Personal Edition, but I have not received an email or reply to download Visual COBOL Personal Edition. 

What should I do so that I can download Visual COBOL Personal Edition?

Hi ​@Roland, I have moved your message to this product forum, dedicated to Visual COBOL. I’m sure folks here will be able to help you.

I have also tried to download the  Visual COBOL Personal Edition, to no avail also.

I am still awaiting approval to download files/instructions.

The Open Text website has cloned the instructions. Could there be an email going to Open Text to send the URL required?

When can I expect a response from Rocket Software

Same here. 

I have also tried to download the  Visual COBOL Personal Edition, to no avail also.

I am still awaiting approval to download files/instructions.

Tried twice last week and have heard back nothing?

Hi all,

I just tried to download Visual COBOL PE from Visual COBOL Personal Edition Free Download | Rocket Software and I received the email right away.

I believe there might be a problem with registering with an email address that you have used within the last year. Can you possibly try a different email address and see if that, indeed, is the problem?

My email was a new one.  I used to registered at my last job with a work email address and the one I used was new.  I even tried a 2nd request with another email address and no emails.  I am using firefox.  Just tried chrome and edge.

No luck.  Looking for windows version!

I don’t understand what the problem could be.  I requested the VC for Visual Studio version and I received an email within a couple minutes.

Are you sure the emails aren’t being filtered into your trash inbox?

The sender of the email would be:

The Visual COBOL Team <marketingreply@rocketsoftware.com>

What type of email address are you using,  gmail, outlook, other?

I used my gmail address and it did work but sent the replay with a download link about 30 minutes later so I am good with the new email address. Thanx

I got it installed, but it is asking for a license file and I cannot find an .xml license file.

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Rocket Software\Licensing
